Login and get codingA quick Bite to practice some string parsing extracting a users
dict
from a password file.Complete
get_users
is how it works:>>> from users import get_users >>> pw = """ ... postfix:x:108:112::/var/spool/postfix:/bin/false ... ssh-rsa:x:1004:1004::/home/ssh-rsa:/bin/bash ... artagnon:x:1005:1005:Ramkumar R,,,,Git GSOC:/home/artagnon:/bin/bash ... """ >>> get_users(pw) {'postfix': 'unknown', 'ssh-rsa': 'unknown', 'artagnon': 'Ramkumar R Git GSOC'}So keys are usernames, values are names. Note that commas inside the name get replace by a single space. Trailing commas (not in this example) get stripped off.
Have fun and keep calm and code in Python!
